“I will Never leave,
Nor Forsake You!”
.
The Removal of
Believers and Holy Spirit
seem to contradict
Jesus words.
IMHO
That promise is found in Deuteronomy 31:8 and is requoted in Hebrews 13:5. Very Jewish context in both, but the promise is aimed at believers and not the world at large.
BRB,
Don’t be that guy!
Jesus wasn’t speaking to the world at large, he clearly told them he was preparing a place for them.
And, that he would come back for them.
So where he was they could also be.
Clearly they and them are believers, not the world in general.
He came first to pay for sin, then he will come gather his saints aluve and sleeping to meet him in the air....
Then his second coming will be to rule and judge (and believers in glorified glorified state with him) the world of mankind who remain.
Then comes the end. Then follows the restoration of the earth for glorified man and cohabitation with God for eternity....
Some may argue finer points, but that’s the campaign in it’s finality.
